When asked did he cheat he says "i dont believe so". Someone shouldve coached him to show anger and spit fire there. Those 2 weeks before the SB he never really came out strongly in a presser and put it to test.Smart and cunning is overrated. For one, people don't trust smart people, and they don't trust people that hide their emotions. It's human nature, dumb people are less threatening, they can't trick you. And hiding your emotions is deceit. There's something genuine about a person who gets pissed off and shows it. He does that in games anyway.
But most importantly, people are rarely as smart or cunning as they think so all that waiting for the perfect plan usually results in an imperfect plan that is executed by someone who appears to be attempting to deceive, or thinks they're clever.
If Brady came out day one, pissed off and told everyone it's ******** because he didn't do anything then he likely would have far more public support and that could have swayed the whole process since.
No Games=just about right.2 GAMES - suck it up and move on
4 GAMES - go apesh!!T on youtube and express feeling
6+ GAMES - law and order. plain and simple
There is a reason on this board that I call Goodell,"Goody". It has been written that Goodell ratted out on players on the football team for underage drinking and violating team rules. I really don't know if its accurate but the story seemed very legit and not satirical in nature.Does anyone else envision that during Goodell's formative years, he ran his smack on his classmates and repeatedly got crammed into his locker?
Consider this:
- if the Wells report is a bunch of lies, most people would be shouting from the rooftops and swearing on a stack of bibles that they didn't do it, and the report was wrong. Yet we hear nothing from TFB
- if the Wells reports figured something out in general (with lots of shoddy slanted writing), Tom would be well to keep quiet and take his punishment, vs pulling a Roger Clemens, Lance Armstrong. After the punishment, he will deflect, never admit nor deny. let it go into the night....
I'm basically agreeing with the OP. If you are innocent TB, where are you?
That makes me think he is not 100% innocent. (sorry)
Whatever, I will be there on banner night in september. lets win another. eft them
One angle that really hasn't be considered is that perhaps Brady hasn't been in full denial mode because all that he can say is that he never instructed balls to be underinflated, but it is impossible for him to know for sure that the attendants didn't do it on their own. Everyone says there is no way they would take the liberty to do this, but here's the thing: they WOULDN'T do something he didn't want, BUT if what he wanted was a particular "feel" for the ball, without necessarily knowing this was below 12.5, they might have learned to tweak it a bit to get to the right "feel," ESPECIALLY since they knew from experience that the refs sometimes overinflate (see Jets game). The record shows that he at times said he wanted it at "12.5,"
